MetaDefender

Advanced Threat Prevention Platform

MetaDefender is a cybersecurity platform for preventing and detecting cybersecurity threats on multiple data channels.

Advanced Malware Threat Prevention

MetaDefender protects organizations from cybersecurity threats in data that originates from a variety of sources, such as web, email, portable media, and endpoints. The MetaDefender philosophy is:

Any file could be infected
Any file could be attempting to exploit a vulnerability to compromise a network
Single anti-malware engines, next-gen firewalls, sandboxes, machine learning, IPSes, and proxy anti-malware solutions do not provide adequate cybersecurity protection on their own

Organizations have difficulty tracking and securing all data transfer channels that expose them to security threats, especially large enterprises with thousands of employees and contractors. Data transfer channels, such as file uploads, portable media devices, and email attachments, all have the potential to carry targeted attacks that can damage an organization’s reputation, financial standing, customer relationships, and for critical infrastructure, sensitive equipment and the facility itself.

Highlights

Prevent Attacks without Relying on Detection

Most cybersecurity solutions rely upon detection as their core protective function. MetaDefender deep content disarm and reconstruction does not rely on detection. It assumes all files could be infected and rebuilds their content using a secure and efficient process. It supports more than 30 file types, and outputs safe and usable files. Deep content disarm and reconstruction (Deep CDR) is extremely effective in preventing targeted attacks, ransomware, and other types of known and unknown malware threats.

Highest Threat Detection with Multiscanning

MetaDefender multiscanning uses multiple anti-malware engines to provide superior detection rates of known and unknown threats and deliver extremely fast malware outbreak prevention. MetaDefender customers can simultaneously leverage the combined threat prevention capabilities of more than 35+ anti-malware engines using both signature heuristic scanning and machine learning capabilities.

Detect Vulnerable Software Before Installation

All applications contain vulnerabilities of different degrees of severity that threat actors can exploit. Our file-based vulnerability assessment of binaries and installers detects known vulnerabilities within files and application vulnerabilities in software programs before they are installed on endpoint devices, including IoT devices. We support vulnerability detection for over 1 million files and over 20,000 applications.

Detect Sensitive Data in Files

MetaDefender proactive data loss prevention (Proactive DLP) can help prevent potential data breaches and regulatory compliance violations by detecting and blocking sensitive data in files and emails, including credit card numbers and social security numbers. MetaDefender DLP supports a wide range of file types, including Microsoft Office and PDF.

MetaDefender Deploys in the Cloud or in Local Environments

Customers can implement our industry-leading deep content disarm and reconstruction, multiscanning, and file-base vulnerability assessment technology through either our MetaDefender Cloud service or by deploying MetaDefender software solutions within their own environment, including air-gapped networks.
